Nudo. Olive Trees. A Project.

Today a short post about the food and online connection of Nudo Olive Oil and Kickstarter.

Back in 2008 I was telling you about our ‘adoption’. Yes, we adopted … an olive tree. Besides the delicious olive oil we received over the ‘adoption’ year we even managed to visit ‘our’ olive tree. Never short of an excuse to go to Italy on holiday. And yes, it was an emotional moment 🙂

Which brings me to 2013. Jason and Cathy (the Nudo ‘parents’) are on a mission to get the best book on olive oil out. Which really, given the Nudo super delicious oil should not be so difficult. But how do you bring a book out these days? Oh, how the world has changed since 2008. Today food and social media team up, bringing me to the second thing I love: Kickstarter. Giving us (me) the social power of supporting and contributing to projects we love. Like I did for the Nudo project.

No, in case you were wondering, I am not linked in any way to either Nudo or Kickstarter. But I just wanted to share with you how two things I love are coming together – food and social (impact). Too often we forget in today’s world that we can make a difference, even if it is a small difference. But with small steps come big changes. And I do hope that Nudo gets the funding needed to embark on this exciting olive oil book adventure.
